luxury ! How about frozen wetsuit left outside all night. And frozen caving pants too. I was tough when I was younger. Adjourn to cake shop is how I'd deal with it these days.
Drysuit for me, toastie from the neck down. When I'm at Stoney Cove we run the hoods under the hot taps so they are nice to pull on.

caving not diving, and tends to be fleece rather than wetsuit nowdays anyway, but when I were a lad...

Drysuit for diving - abso-bloody-lutely

Back in the day, before Goretex was invented, children, we had cagoules that were (a) orange and (b) lined with neoprene. Putting one of these on again after a lunch stop was not pleasant.
Ah yes, cagoules that packed into their own pocket and were guaranteed to leave you wetter on the inside than the outside.

Putting on a set of wet oilskins when you take over an early watch in lumpy seas takes a bit of beating.

Loch side.
Dry suits are for wimps.

Real men put on a damp wetsuit..... and just pee in it to warm up. ;)^_^
Yeah! And you can smell them a mile away. I once had the displeasure of having to drive a car with a tub full of such wetsuits in the back that has been ripening in the hot car for a few hours before the journey.
